Slide duration

[David McFarlane]

Dave,

Stock reminder:  1) I do not work for PST.  2) PST's trained staff 
takes any and all questions at 
http://support.pstnet.com/e%2Dprime/support/login.asp , and they 
strive to respond to all requests in 24-48 hours (although current 
estimates are more like 10 days) -- this is pretty much their 
substitute for proper documentation, so make full use of it.  3) If 
you do get an answer from PST Web Support, please extend the courtesy 
of posting their reply back here for the sake of others.

That said, here is my take...

How about this:  Let's suppose your Slide is called StimSlide.  Set 
its Duration to 2000, the input mask Time Limit to (infinite), and 
End Action to (none).  Then follow StimSlide with a bit of inline 
code as follows:

Do Until (StimSlide.RT > 0)
Loop

or if you prefer,

Do While StimSlide.InputMasks.IsPending()
Loop

Now your StimSlide will last for 2 s whether or not it gets a 
response druing that time, and then the inline code will take up the 
rest of the time until StimSlide gets a response.
